Curtain Air Bag - Kia Rio 2012 Owner's Manual

The side impact air bag is supplemental
to the driver's and the passenger's seat
belt systems and is not a substitute for
them. Therefore your seat belts must be
worn at all times while the vehicle is in
operation.
For best protection from the side air bag
system and to avoid being injured by the
deploying side air bag, both front seat
occupants should sit in an upright posi-
tion with the seat belt properly fastened.
The driver's hands should be placed on
the steering wheel at the 9:00 and 3:00
positions. The passenger's arms and
hands should be placed on their laps.
WARNING
- Deployment
Do not install any accessories
including seat covers, on the side
or near the side impact air bag as
this may affect the deployment of
the side air bags.
If seat or seat cover is damaged, have
the vehicle checked and repaired by an
authorized Kia dealer. Inform that your
vehicle is equipped with side impact air
bags and an occupant detection system.
WARNING
- Flying objects
Do not place any objects (an
umbrella, bag, etc.) between the
front door and the front seat. Such
objects may become dangerous
projectiles if the side
inflates.
